Passchendaele, by Paul Ham.
Maaate! Beaudy! We bored it up those bastard Brits, eh! Villers-Bret – the Aussies' triumph. Those mighty Anzacs attacked straight into Hun machine-gun fire – rat-tat-tat! – and through shell-fire – ba-boom!
And they dished it to the Fritzes – kamerad my arse! – and saved that French village and the whole bloody Western Front and damn near won the war. 'Onya, Diggers. Not that Field-bloody-Marshal Douglas Haig noticed. Again. I coulda cried: Maaate!
I did weep. There you have the digested read of Peter FitzSimons' latest house-brick-sized book, Victory at Villers-Bretonneux, completing his trilogy on Australians in the Great War. Thank goodness.
FitzSimons' style is that of a graphic novel without the pictures; cartoon history by the kilogram. His popularity stems partly from the promotional advantages he enjoys with media outlets in all forms, but also because he is a sort of historical Trump – he understands and expresses (and probably shares) a simple patriotism that transcends the complexity of real life, and tells a good story regardless.
The Vanquished, by Robert Gerwarth.
As his acknowledgments make clear, practically all the actual research for this and other books is done by a large team of elves – FitzSimons' part is to render it in what he concedes is "a particular, unconventional way". It is story-telling: but is it history?
No one would dispute that the counter-attacks at Villers-Bretonneux were among the AIF's most impressive feats – like most writers, FitzSimons takes his cue from Charles Bean, who said as much in his dispatches, diaries and in his official history. And few would doubt that the episode's principal architect, Brigadier-General Harold "Pompey" Elliott, was Australia's greatest fighting soldier of the war. That's been confirmed many times since 1918.
Victory at Villers-Bretonneux, by Peter Fitzsimons.
What is in contention – what this book makes contentious by FitzSimons' focus and style – is whether this action, tiny on the scale of the Western Front, deserves the nearly 700 pages of adulation, simplification and exaggeration it gets at his hand. This is all, as FitzSimons would say, pissing in the wind. His thousands of readers have their Oi, oi, oi prejudices confirmed; he enjoys his status as Australia's highest-earning non-fiction writer (though many passages are actually imagined) and historians who see the past less simplistically are left looking like sour-pusses. But as Fitzy writes: "Bingo. Done. Move on."
Paul Ham is also a former journalist who has become a best-selling popular historian. His Passchendaele: Requiem for Doomed Youth is also a house-brick-sized product, but it is quite a different proposition from FitzSimons'.
Next year will see another round of Great War anniversaries, notably that of the third battle of Ypres, when half a million British empire and German troops became casualties in slogging British offensives in the mostly rain-sodden Flanders autumn. They shifted the front line by at most about five kilometres. From the huge Tyne Cot cemetery near Passchendaele (the village whose name now stands for the entire battle), the city of Ypres is quite clear on the horizon: surely all visitors question whether the gain was worth the cost.
Ham has written a string of acclaimed popular histories; all fat volumes, testifying to both his tenacity as a researcher – he does his own – but also his desire to be taken seriously. No historian I know quotes philosophy as much as Ham, who seems anxious to establish his gravity. He really needn't worry.
Passchendaele is a solid if somewhat old-fashioned account of one of the Great War's most terrible battles (it is one of just four chosen by the British government to be commemorated during the centenary, a sign of its continuing power). He describes it all soberly and meticulously, without need of a rat-tat-tat or a ka-boom.
Ham creditably refuses to accept well-worn nails in Field Marshal Douglas Haig's coffin, such as the celebrated anecdote in which his intelligence chief, Lancelot Kiggell, was said to have gazed at the muddy crater-field of Ypres and asked "did we really send men to fight in that?". The story is, at best, apocryphal. But Ham does describe how a British colonel did try to tell headquarters staff the truth, and was "reprimanded for his effrontery".
The core of Ham's condemnation of the idea and execution of the Ypres offensive is that it was planned as a battle of "attrition" – intended to kill Germans rather than capture the Belgian coast (to impede German submarine warfare). The bulk of Passchendaele is a detailed, even-handed narrative that, fulfilling his title, laments the "doomed youth" who suffered through it. (Ham's sub-title is a nod to war poet Wilfred Owen's Anthem for Doomed Youth, written while the offensive continued, though oddly he doesn't say so.) In that every generation needs to know what this ugliest of battles entailed, this is a worthy service, if accomplished at wearying length.
But if Lancelot Kiggell was right, that "Boche-killing is the only way to win war" – in this war at least – then it is hard to see what other options Haig, or anyone else, had. If a negotiated peace was impossible – and that seems to have been so – then resolution in battle was the only way to end the war. If a breakthrough was impossible, as seemed to be the case after the Somme, then an attrition battle seems to have been unavoidable.
Ham chastises Haig for pretending that he could have broken though the lines of German pill-boxes, but he, like Haig – like all of us – can offer no credible alternative to the tragedy of Passchendaele.
Ham takes issue with revisionist historians who have recently challenged the traditional war-poet-led condemnation of Haig and his plans, who have presented Passchendaele as justifiable. He blames Haig for persisting with the slaughter knowing that breakthrough was impossible, but also Prime Minister Lloyd George for letting him, and the politicians of Europe for unthinkingly committing the world to a war in which Passchendaele was the logical, inevitable outcome.
The most important pages in Ham's book are the ones many readers will not have the stamina to reach. His epilogue makes a thoughtful contribution to the all-too-rare discussion of why it is necessary or desirable to "remember" the dead of the Great War, something, as he says, taken for granted and all-too conventional. He enlists George V to remind us that the dead of Passchendaele are a warning to be wary of regarding that war, or any war, as "necessary".
Books on the Great War tend to finish at the Armistice. Robert Gerwarth, of University College Dublin, reminds us in The Vanquished that for many the war did not end on November 11, 1918. Formerly Ottoman Iraq, for example, rose in a violent uprising against British occupation (something that might have offered a cautionary lesson had anyone in the Pentagon, Whitehall or Russell Hill realised it in 2003).
Gerwarth's book explains the conflicts that few Australians knew of then and fewer still understand now – the Russian-Polish, Romanian-Hungarian, and Greco-Turkish wars, civil wars in Ireland, Finland, Germany and Russia and the bloody aftermath of its revolution – confrontations that simmered even as the Allies imposed their "peace" treaties.
Gerwarth, originally German, draws on pan-European sources – his bibliography includes more than a dozen books by authors whose names begin with Z: Zadgorska, Zamoyski, Zorn. The Vanquished offers a valuable corrective to FitzSimons. Not only did 20 million die in the war, but another four million in the violence that followed, much of it pursued with brutality in ideological or ethnic contests in which defeat meant displacement if not death.
Reading Ham and Gerwarth's sombre narratives beside FitzSimons' nationalist boosting shows he really doesn't understand the Great War at all.
Professor Peter Stanley, of UNSW Canberra, is one of Australia's foremost authorities on the Great War. His most recent book is Armenia, Australia and the Great War.

Lawsuit claiming DEA paid N.M. man in crack tossed
By Russell Contreras Associated Press
Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2015 11:13 AM
ALBUQUERQUE, – A lawsuit filed by a New Mexico man who says federal agents wrongfully supplied him with crack cocaine, reigniting his addiction to the drug, was dismissed Wednesday by a federal judge
In a 16-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Martha Vazquez said the law doesn't allow for damages when a person's own wrongful conduct is the cause of injury.
Aaron Romero said in court papers that he was unknowingly targeted during an undercover investigation because he was a struggling addict and did not know he was helping agents break up a Las Vegas, New Mexico, drug operation.
The lawsuit says Romero was given a portion of crack cocaine for help with deals in an undercover investigation into a case known as "Operation Smack City." That arrangement was in violation of DEA policy because the agency did not get prior approval from prosecutors, the lawsuit said.
Romero, 39, sued the Drug Enforcement Administration and its agents in July 2014 seeking $8.5 million in damages for the loss of "love, familial relationships, and companionship" related to Romero's ongoing crack addiction.
Romero's attorney, Erlinda Ocampo Johnson, told the Associated Press that she "absolutely" plans to appeal the ruling.

If you are interested in planning a luxury destination wedding, please contact us here for more information!
Planning or considering a destination wedding? As luxury event planners we get the privilege to travel all over the globe with our clients and familiarize ourselves with beautiful destinations, perfect for any intimate or large wedding. Here are our top five locations for destination weddings this coming year.
Mexico is a host of many locations that we love. It also is home to one of favorite of all time, The One and Only Palmilla. The One and Only Palmilla is a location like none other in Mexico. It is set on the outskirts of Cabo San Lucas, so it's easy to travel to, and has one of the only swim up beaches in the surrounding area.
It's Spanish architecture and modern elegance make you feel like you have been transported into Mexico's history and roots. And the staff at the One and Only Palmilla are unlike any we have seen. They anticipate your needs to the highest degree and we have never been happier than when we see couples placed on that level.
We also really loved the Auberge Resort at Chileno Bay. It was spacious and more affordable, but still had a level of sophisticated modernism that would be perfect for any Mexican hotel. It had a tiered pool system that leads right to the ocean and event spaces that had great views of the water. They also serve some of the best food in the area. Deep in tradition and technique, the chef's blow you away with their flavors and preparation.
Lastly, we felt it was worth mentioning Solaz Resort. This was one of the newer resorts in the area, so the rooms are stocked with modern influences. And the event spaces aren't any different. With transformative spaces and ocean views, Solaz is great for larger events that really want to capitalize on the scenery surrounding them, but also enjoy the expanse of a larger resort.
Calling all wine lovers!! We love practically anywhere you can get married in the Napa-Sonoma area. The weather is always nice, and the wineries are always a great backdrop to any ceremony or reception. If you want my favorites, you have to check out Calistoga Ranch and the Vintage House.
Calistoga Ranch is quaint and serene. When you are there it will feel like a true getaway for all your guests. Plus, they have many locations for events including private vineyards for ceremonies, lake views for dinner, and a large underground wine cellar for after party. It also has an amazing spa and restaurants on site for satellite events like rehearsal dinners and day-after brunches.
And if you like something a little more lively, then the Vintage House is a perfect location. The spaces are larger there and the rooms are just adorable. The clean white buildings, mixed with exposed brick brings back some of the charm or a high-end event. Chef's and wine makers alike all love the adorable property located in Yountville, and we love the new renovation of its sister property next door, complete with brand new beautiful barn!
If you are coming from the east coast and want to travel to Mexico, then I typically suggest the Cancun area. My favorite resorts on that side of Mexico are Nizuc and the Banyan Tree Mayakoba.
Both locations have a lot of space to host events. Nizuc is larger and can host beach side, or in a ballroom. And it literally has the sexiest rooms I have ever seen. Very chic and worth the ocean view.
The Bayan Tree in set inside the area of Mayakoba, where they have access to riverside wedding locations as well as roof top and boat side events. Both locations thrive off of their Mayan influences. Whether is in décor, food preparation or entertainment, you cannot go wrong with picking a wedding location in Cancun.
For all the mountain lovers out there, Wyoming and Montana are for you! We particularly love Jackson Hole because of the views of the Tetons and the rich, western roots in the area. The locations tend to be more rustic than in Montana, but they can also be really luxurious. Think high-end glamping, and lovely barns rented out by stars like Kanye West. This place has it all! Oh, and did we mention horses? They are everywhere and they are truly majestic!
As an Arizona-based company we do a TON of destination events for out-of-state clients, here! Our desert surround is like nothing else in the entire United States of America. We have high-end resorts with gorgeous mountain views, European-style architecture paired with natural desert style surroundings, and the iconic Saguaro cactus surrounding all of our favorite locations. Our weather here is lovely 9 months out of the year, and we have become a HUGE destination for all people who crave some serious fun in the sun.
If you are interested in planning a luxury destination wedding, please contact us for more information! We would love to talk to you about planning a wedding in Hawaii, Italy and MORE!

Facebook Killer?
Posted by CHRISTINA on February 28, 2018 at 4:30pm
(ANTIMEDIA) — Facebook's dwindling popularity is no secret, as users and organizations alike have criticized its ever-changing algorithms and lodged claims of censorship. In light of the most recent algorithmic changes, which have prioritized users' friends' posts over posts from public pages, even Facebook has acknowledged a decrease in the amount of time people are spending on the site.
Though there is currently no major alternative to Facebook that compares to the way Facebook served as a replacement for Myspace a decade ago, emerging options reflect the new paradigm: decentralized blockchain platforms.
In what is arguably a show of major recognition for these new options, Bloomberg Technology reported Tuesday on Steemit, an increasingly popular blockchain-based social media and blogging platform that allows participants to earn cryptocurrency for posting, commenting, and voting on content.
Steemit is already gaining traction with independent media outlets and journalists who have seen their reach on Facebook and traditional platforms suffocated (journalist Ben Swann recently joined Steemit, as have Anti-Media and many of our reporters, including myself).
Bloomberg's report on Steemit documented the growth of the "financial internet" in general and its potential to disrupt the established internet order:
"The so-called financial internet stands the Facebook business model on its head. With Facebook, users post content on the site and the company collects the money — last year, $41 billion in revenue. On Steemit, the money goes in the other direction. Facebook, with 2.1 billion monthly users, may not even see Steemit, which says 9 million users visit each month, in its rear-view mirror."
Bloomberg notes there are at least 1,000 projects that "record data onto digital ledgers and are called dApps, for decentralized applications, are live or in testing."
Kenny Palurintano, who has established himself as a veritable Steemit expert (full disclosure: he operates my account, as well as accounts for Anti-Media journalist Derrick Broze and Anti-Media, among others), has explained how Steemit works, highlighting its foundation rooted in the blockchain, decentralization, and open source technology. He also discusses how content creation factors into that:

"Everyone on Steemit is either creating and/or curating content. Even if you've never put up a single post, your comments on other peoples' posts are still content, still adding to all-that-is the Steemit platform. The more value other people see in your content, the more upvotes it gets, and the more you get paid out. Curating is the act of up-voting and flagging content on Steemit. As you can see, it's possible to create quite an abundance flow, simply by helping abundance flow to great content creators."
Steemit CEO Ned Scott discussed the site's popularity — there are over 100,000 content creators — attributing this rise, fittingly, to a decentralized, word-of-mouth form of promotion and the potential to earn cryptocurrency, namely, Steem and Steem Dollars. As he told Bloomberg in an interview:
"I attribute almost all of Steemit's growth to the reality it's distributed money to members of the community. There's been very little marketing. It's been all organic conversations that have led to the growth of the platform. A majority of the people who continue to stick around are being compensated for their time."
Steemit, which doesn't sell ad space like Facebook and other traditional platforms, instead owns a portion of the tokens. Though the financial internet currently only pays users about $3.5 million per year, that figure could grow to $50 million in two years, according to Susan Eustis, CEO of WinterGreen Research. Billionaire investor Tim Draper, who is heavily invested in digital currency, believes that within ten years, tokens and cryptocurrencies will account for 33% of all commerce.
Steemit isn't the only blockchain-based platform that's paying users and attracting attention. Projects like Storj, Golem, Matchpool, Augur, and Cryptokitties are also allowing users to generate income for a variety of services and activities ranging from end-to-end encrypted cloud storage (Storj) and predicting future events (Augur) to collecting, breeding, and selling digital cats (Cryptokitties). In another example, Brave is an open-source, privacy-focused browser that blocks ads and allows users to earn tokens.
Though many of these platforms are not yet prepared for mass membership and use, those in the sphere are confident that over time they will adapt. "These decentralized systems are just not made to grow and scale for the masses yet," co-founder of Ethereum Anthony Di Iorio said. "There are always problems with early technology. It takes time."
But those in the field predict major gains and applicability. Draper, for example, believes that within five years, cryptocurrencies will be used to purchase everyday items like burgers and coffee.
As Di Oiorio said of these growing decentralized systems, "This will be more important than the internet. It's going to be massively disruptive for every sector."
Facebook and Twitter have not yet responded to Bloomberg's request for comment on these new platforms, which increasingly appear to have the potential to disrupt their monopoly over the internet as we have known it.
Further, as Palurintano told Anti-Media, echoing Draper and Di Oiorio's concerns but expressing optimism at the new systems gaining traction:
"Being covered by such a large, mainstream news source as Bloomberg will provide a huge leap in the reach of the STEEM blockchain. We, as the community creating content and building tools, should take this as a great sign… but also as a challenge to step up our game. There are still many many technical issues, community-splitting conflicts, and a very steep learning curve, all of which create a barrier to entry for the average, non-tech-savvy folks who just read about our wonderful platform. What can each of us do to make STEEM the best it can be?"

What do I do if I'm served with a complaint in Florida?
Panic may set in because you've never been involved in a lawsuit before and you know that you may be in for an expensive bill between the lawyer's fees and if you end up with a judgment against you. You may even think that if you just ignore the complaint, it will go away or the plaintiff will forget about you. Don't ignore it. It is extremely important that you take action right away. There are time limits for responding to complaints in Florida, and you want to make sure that you have your answer filed within that time limit (we as lawyers also appreciate you giving us enough time to prepare the best response for you). If you don't, you will likely lose you right to defend against the lawsuit and will be stuck with an expensive judgment.
How much time to I have to respond to a complaint in Florida?
First, you need to know the time limits for responding to complaints in Florida. Once you are served, you need to carefully read the summons. The summons is a paper that is required to be served with the complaint. The summons will tell you how long you have to respond. For most complaints, the time limit for an answer or other responsive pleading (like contesting jurisdiction) is 20 days. This time limit applies to complaints alleging negligence, breach of contract, foreclosure, and many other types of civil cases.
Another time limit that you may see is 5 days. A 5 day time limit for responding to complaints occurs in complaints for eviction, unlawful detainer, or some other narrowly defined types of cases, usually dealing with the return of property- anything to which summary procedure applies. In small claims cases, there is no set time limit to respond to the complaint. Instead, you will need to appear at a pretrial hearing on a specified date that will be included with the complaint when you are served in order to state to the court your response to the complaint. A written response is only required if you intend to bring a counterclaim against the person suing you. If you don't show up at the pretrial hearing, you will automatically lose the small claims case. That goes for plaintiffs and defendants. This is why it is extremely important that you carefully read the summons that is served along with the complaint. The summons is the only document that will tell you how long you have to respond.
Contact an attorney as soon as possible if you are served with a complaint.
Second, you need to immediately contact an attorney (many will give you a free consultation). This is very important. Hiring an attorney to represent you in a case is highly recommended. Now you may balk at this and say, "Well you're an attorney, of course you're going to say that." While that may be true, we're not saying to necessarily hire us; just talk to an attorney who can help you with your case. An attorney will make sure that you respond to the complaint within the correct period of time and raise any available affirmative defenses to the lawsuit. In other words the attorney can be a barometer for the magnitude of the storm you may be facing. Hiring an attorney can help you identify if you have any counterclaims against the plaintiff. An attorney will be able to make sure that counterclaims are raised properly in the answer. The law is complex and hiring an attorney is the only way to make sure that you are putting forward your best defense to the lawsuit.
If you ignore the complaint, a default will likely be entered against you in the case.
So what if you just ignore the complaint and pretend it didn't happen? Perhaps you think you don't have deep pockets or enough assets to warrant a lawsuit. This is not recommended, unless you think a good resolution is having your property seized at some point in the future. If you don't defend the lawsuit, you give the plaintiff a free pass and he or she is able to win the case without having to prove their part of the case – their allegations are treated as the truth. This is called a default judgment. A default judgment is entered if the defendant does not respond to the complaint filed by a plaintiff in a case. Once a default or default judgment is entered, there are very limited ways in order to have it set aside. Most likely, the judgment will stand and you will be held accountable.
Contact us today if you have been served with a complaint in Florida.
The bottom line is that it is always best to talk to an attorney and ultimately hire one as soon as possible if you are being sued. An attorney may be able to put you in the best position to minimize the damage from a lawsuit. We are more than happy to discuss your case. We can give you an idea of how strong your case, or defenses are. We can also give you an idea how much it will cost to defend (or not defend) your case. Contact our firm today to schedule a free consultation with one of our attorneys.

To the Edge of the Risk Board: Ian Frazier's Manic and Majestic Journeys Through Siberia
By Eric Banks • 10/27/10 12:35am
After almost two decades, with the former Soviet Union having gone from scary cold war nemesis to scary turbocapitalist petro-dynasty, it's remarkable what imaginative magic the word "Siberia" retains. Last week, a friend showed me a text message he'd just received that said if he didn't cough up a key piece of social gossip, he'd be seated at an upcoming dinner "in a Siberia so remote it would make Moscow seem like Puerto Rico." (My friend took his chances.) Ian Frazier, at the beginning of his new book, Travels in Siberia, himself mentions the icy metaphor of social exile, a biggie with real estate journalists and Styles section writers. It reminds him also of the Siberia he imagined as a child, no matter how anachronistic that image may now be. It was there in the game of Risk, where plenty of baby-boomer kids learned their geopolitical ins and outs, and in Dr. Strangelove, the countryside that zoomed past Slim Pickens as he skirted the tops of ermine white mountain peaks and frozen pine trees. The cinematic face matched the imagined reality of the Soviet hinterlands: They were vast and unpeopled (or so vast that, whether inhabited or not, they seemed unpeopled) and virtually impossible ever to imagine seeing in person.
When Mr. Frazier first set off for Siberia, the U.S.S.R. had been dissolved for just over a year and the future of the land east of the Urals was uncertain; it was still about as exotic and seemingly unreachable a destination as could be imagined. By 2009, when he took the last of the trips documented in Travels in Siberia, getting there had become an oddly anodyne experience, more a transaction than an adventure: pony up the grand or so for a round-trip ticket from J.F.K. to Novosibirsk, and you can be zipped like any Tom, Dick or Boris by Aeroflot across 22 time zones to a city with a requisite Ikea mall on its outskirts. When Mr. Frazier meets a family friend named Vanya in nearby Akademgorodok, home to a prestigious science campus, all the talk is about how the scientists are being forced out by the gentrifying real estate prices. "As Vanya and I sat and talked, I felt normal. I had never felt just that–normal–in Russia before. I had been making trips to Russia and working on this book since 1993. In those sixteen years I had been to Siberia five times, to western Russia five or six more. Never in all those travels had I felt merely normal."
To some travel writers, that transition to the merely normal might be an occasion for melancholy of the world-is-growing-smaller kind, but Mr. Frazier is less interested in the easy globalism of that allegory than in an almost 19th-century attraction to the travelogue (he makes a pretty compelling case that the travel story is the Siberian literary genre par excellence and nicely describes the history of travel writing there, a canon that includes more American writers than one might imagine). And as in any good travelogue, there are many simple but somehow profound things you learn about Siberia here, some of which have been previously published in The New Yorker: That Novosibirsk looks like Seattle with Lenin statues. That Russian cottage cheese is yummiest when mixed in with sour cream and is available for sale at roadside stands (though eating too much of it makes you smell like a dirty baby). That seal meat tastes like the beef of a cow fed on salmon. That there are bevies of beautiful women throughout Siberia but perhaps nowhere in greater concentration than in Krasnoyarsk, which would "put even Velikii Ustyug in the shade." Somehow, you feel much wiser for knowing these things, and happier for knowing that Krasnoyarsk exists.
Mr. Frazier's road to Krasnoyarsk is a roundabout one. Bedazzled with Siberia on his first trip, a cultural-exchange-type affair to Lake Baikal and environs, he began learning Russian and gobbling large quantities of Kharms and Bulgakov and Zoshchenko, whose deadpan humor seems in places to have inspired Mr. Frazier's prose. A few years later, Mr. Frazier saw a different part of the country, returning with a little group of Californian tourists on a hop-and-a-jump flight from Nome to the Russian city of Provideniya–just over 225 miles from the Alaskan town (closer, in other words, than Dallas is to Houston). Built by slave labor in the 1930s, Provideniya is nobody's idea of a fun getaway. By the time Mr. Frazier visits, it's a bleak, partly abandoned city of collapsed apartment houses. ("Walking around Provideniya one couldn't escape the notion that it had been destroyed in a war, as I guess it had.") The Californians gripe about not getting the low-cholesterol diet they were promised and feel ripped off when there are no reindeer to be seen.
NOT DETERRED, THOUGH, is Mr. Frazer, who sets off on more and more arduous journeys. He happily returns from his Provideniya trip emboldened to crisscross the Siberian vastness. Motoring from Petersburg in an absurdly beat-up van, he completes the trip in just under six weeks in 2001. (He reaches the Pacific with his two Russian traveling companions on, as it happens, 9/11.) The endurance-testing drive, equal parts ethnography and road trip, would seem to exhaust the enthusiasm of most travelers for Siberia. Swampy lands and potholed roads make much of the land unnavigable; they camp out amid mountains of garbage and fog clouds of mosquitoes plentiful enough to be capable of suffocating small animals.
But later, Mr. Frazier somehow convinces himself that he hasn't seen the real Siberia unless he's visited it in winter. So he plots a return trip: Vladivostok to Yakutsk, in the deep freeze of March. The route takes him via the northern Baikal-Amur Railway and along frozen rivers serving as seasonal highways. Some legs of the trip are jaw-dropping in their remoteness. To get to Yakutsk, which clocks in with an average winter temperature of 42 degrees below zero, from Severobaikalsk, Mr. Frazier takes a 53-hour train-trip detour, followed by eight hours in a for-hire car. But it is worth the trip to see the city, an odd mix of the familiar and the very far from home. When Wendell Wilkie visited Yakutsk in 1942, he said it reminded him of Elkwood, Indiana. Mr. Frazer corrects him by pointing out that Yakutsk has a Wrangler Jeans store, a Benetton and a Gap, and a Baskin-Robbins–a doubtless advantage that Elkwooders would have to drive to Muncie or Kokomo to find.
Nor could Elkwood boast of a proximity to a system of gulags that Mr. Frazier is finally able to examine up close on his winter reise. He investigates an abandoned site on the desolate highway near the native village of Topolinoe, a primitive and forlorn structure off the side of an appropriately primitive and forlorn road. Russia, at least when Mr. Frazier visited, had yet to master the art of dark tourism, the marketing knack for turning sites of atrocities into magnets for motorists. It requires his persistence to track down, for example, the place in Ekaterinburg where Czar Nicholas II and his family were massacred. A monument he sees to the victims of Stalin excites him and attracts his attention, much to the annoyance and embarrassment of his travel-companion guides, who are much more comfortable indulging Mr. Frazier's fascination for finding the relics of early-19th-century Decembrist exiles than the terrible reminders of their 20th-century counterparts.
We come ultimately to understand better their reticence, thanks to Mr. Frazier's nimble job in sketching their experiences as well as his own and those of the Siberians he comes to know. Travels in Siberia is an excellent record of a strange and passing landscape, and an even better document of describing the human beings who pass through it. And as a guide to Krasnoyarsk, well, it's almost impossible to top.

High power proton accelerators (HPPAs) are at the heart of many future large scale scientific facilities such as a spallation-neutron source, Neutrino Factory, high energy physics at the energy or intensity frontier, accelerator driven sub-critical systems, and the transmutation of nuclear waste. Controlling beam-loss induced machine activation during injection into a circular accelerator (synchrotron or FFAG) is essential for safe operation of HPPAs and requires the beam in the injector linac to be chopped very precisely at the synchrotron revolution frequency. The Front End Test Stand (FETS) at RAL has as its primary aim to demonstrate perfect chopping of a high quality, high intensity, negative Hydrogen ion beam at an energy of 3 MeV.
Although primarily a hardware construction project, the FETS collaboration has become an efficient mechanism for sharing the wealth of real-world accelerator expertise within ISIS and the ASTeC Intense Beams Group with the wider academic community as well as benefitting from the specialisations and expertise of the university groups. The work already undertaken has contributed to the UK's continuing international reputation as a centre of excellence and has stimulated collaborations with leading international accelerator institutes such as CERN, FNAL, ESS and CNS.
FETS consists of a high-brightness Penning surface plasma negative-hydrogen-ion source, magnetic Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) at 65 keV to match the beam into a 3 MeV Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) operating at 324 MHz which delivers the 60mA beam to the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) where the chopping systems are situated. Comprehensive, state-of-the-art diagnostics measure the performance of the system and the beam quality. The ion source, LEBT and high power RF systems have been commissioned and the manufacture of the RFQ is underway.
Evaluating the performance of the complete test stand.
In addition, we proposed to evaluate the additional benefits that will accrue from exploiting the FETS as a driver for further developments in proton accelerator systems.

This week's show had three matches again, which like I said last week, I wish they would cut it back to two because less matches equals more time for each match. I get that they are trying to use more guys in the allotted time that they have and do it effectively however.
Thoughts: This match was good for an opener. Whitmer and Jacobs' work well as a team, but I was a bit thrown off by the pairing of Coleman and Watanabe. I understand that they got him from NJPW to do some shows, but I would rather see him in singles action instead of being placed in what seem like random tag team matches, which is exactly what this was. The match wasn't bad by any means however. Early on, Whitmer and Jacobs worked Coleman over in the corner using quick tags to their full advantage. Watanabe comes back with a basic side slam and scores a near fall on Whitmer. Watanabe tags in Coleman who hits a perfect top rope move on Whitmer for a near fall. The match ends when Whitmer and Jacobs hit the All Seeing Eye (Canadian Backbreaker into a flap jack combination) on Watanabe to get the pinfall victory while Coleman was outside of the ring and unable to help his partner.
This match was really good and like I said, I like Watanabe and I am glad he is getting used. However I would rather see both Watanabe and Coleman in singles matches. Maybe this team was a one-time thing and I really hope it was, because it was just an awkward pairing. They still did fine with what they were given, which made for a perfectly acceptable match.
After the match The Decade attempted to recruit Watanabe, which didn't work out in their favor because Coleman stopped it from happening.
Result: Silas Young defeats Brian Kendrick after reversing a sunset flip attempt to score the win via pinfall.
Thoughts: This match was watchable to me because of Silas Young. I'm not a fan of Spanky AKA Brian Kendrick, I never have been and I probably never will be. He's always been a guy who has just been kind of there to me. At the start of the match, the two men brawl to the outside of the ring. Kendrick gets the upper hand and goes back into the ring only to dive back out of the ring onto Young though the top and middle ropes. The two men come back into the ring and while Silas was in the corner, Kendrick would charge at him and get backdropped over the top rope sending him crashing to the outside of the ring. Young would go out to bring Kendrick back into the ring and deliver a power slam on him, which Kendrick reversed into a near fall. With Kendrick still down, Young would go to the top rope and attempt his split legged moonsault, only to be caught in a Sliced Bread number 2 by Kendrick for another near fall. Later on Young grabs Kendrick and delivers a suplex from the inside to the floor on the outside. They both get back into the ring where Kendrick hits a downed Young with a frog splash, but Young would kick out at two. Kendrick would once again hit a Sliced Bread number 2 for yet another near fall. The end of the match came when Silas Young reversed what looked to be a sunset flip attempt by Kendrick. This match was very passable despite my dislike of Kendrick.

Why Protocol Matters In The Martial Arts
"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."
Anyone new to martial arts would immediately notice the formal nature of expected behavior, both in and out of the dojang. We bow to each other. We respond to commands with "Sir" or "Ma'am". There are rules for lining up, who to ask for help, and when and how to adjust our uniforms, to name but a few. For the most part, we accept these formalities and learn to observe them without question. Yet it is difficult to truly appreciate the usefulness and even necessity of these formalities if we do not understand why we observe them.
To glean an understanding of the why, we need to briefly return to the origins and history of martial arts. Tang Soo Do traces its historical and ancestral roots back to the Hwa Rang Dan, warriors and protectors of several Korean royal dynasties. These first soldiers and the martial arts they practiced were crucial to the survival of ancient civilizations but also later evolved so that citizens could rely on only themselves to thwart the unexpected pillage of conquering foes. Today, Tang Soo Do is practiced worldwide and despite both time and geography, certain traditions remain the same for martial artists of all styles.
Tradition has shaped the many "formalities" we practice during our training. Officially, we refer to them as protocol, defined as "forms of ceremony and etiquette". There is a specific formula which dictates how, when and where something must be done. Like any rule, its effectiveness is dependent upon consistency. That means it must be applied the same way by everyone at all times. Although protocol is arguably an expectation rather than an absolute, the framework it is meant to provide will collapse if it is not applied in a reliable manner. At times, differences in interpretation may arise and when this occurs, an arbiter is necessary to determine an appropriate conclusion. In modern society, judges are the final arbiter in matters of law and in the martial arts world, it is always the highest rank that has the final word.
In addition to providing structure, protocol imbues an organization with a distinct character. It defines what the culture inside the organization looks like. While many organizations espouse certain values, not all are successful in implementing them. By treating each other with courtesy and respect at all times, as well as fairness, patience and understanding, we communicate the importance of civility, human dignity and similar values, and by applying this to our daily lives, it benefits not only the martial arts community, but our homes, neighborhoods, towns and cities as well. We are taught that "everyone on your left is your responsibility", but we also look to our right for leadership and instruction. Therefore, every student of the martial arts has a purpose in the line of responsibility and our traditions compel us to look both left and right for direction and affirmation.
Most would agree that the relationship of protocol and military heritage are inextricably linked. The fighting techniques we learn or teach today were developed for mortal combat. Within the context of war, stakes are irrefutably high, almost always with life or death outcomes and the conditions of war can lead to inhuman behavior. In fact, the Geneva Conventions were established following the Second World War due to the abuses of humanitarian law. Centuries earlier, a code of conduct had already been established for the earliest of military personnel. One has only to refer to the Code of the Hwa Rang Dan to confirm that concepts such as compassion, chivalry, civility and so on originated long, long ago. This ethical code was expanded to include values important to society as a whole. The Ten Articles of Faith, for instance, sets out specific expectations for relationships between and among family members, friends, teachers and students. There is deference to the elderly, no doubt because of the wisdom and experience they possess.
Another major influence in the establishment of protocol is the fact that military organizations are hierarchical in nature, with a very strict chain of command. Orders are passed down from senior to junior ranks. Once again, the ramifications of not doing so are often extreme and rank becomes essential to maintaining a sense of order. In the martial arts, it is the belt system which defines not only hierarchy and chain of command, but also experience, level of skill and accomplishment. While order is immediately defined by rank, seniority is further decided by age and sometimes Dan Bon (Dan number). A white belt signifies a beginner with little knowledge and emerging skill whereas a midnight blue belt indicates mastery of technique, depth of knowledge and great accomplishment. It is therefore appropriate that technique and knowledge are passed down from master to beginner. If this was not true, then a student of any rank, and consequently any skill level, could open their own studio and be qualified to teach. It has been argued by some that humility trumps rank because we can learn from everyone, regardless of rank. Others contend that it takes competence to recognize competence. If the latter is true, then it would be impossible to maintain standards when humility is given precedence over rank, and certainly our art would not be well served, or preserved, by allowing less competent individuals to oversee the teaching of technique.
In a traditional dojang, the chain of command is further evident by the fact that questions which cannot be answered by a gup member must be referred to a dan member. It is because both humility and protocol dictate that it would be unacceptable for a junior member to correct any member above their own rank. That is not to suggest that significant errors committed by a more senior member should be overlooked, but rather that in bringing it to their attention, it is always done with the utmost of courtesy and respect, and with intentions that are purely altruistic.
One of the most persuasive arguments for observing protocol, however, is that it differentiates traditional martial arts from all other types of fighting or self defense. Even without training, anyone can fight because "fight or flight" is a basic human physiological response. Along with protocol, traditional martial artists practice self discipline, self control and measured response to a threat, fighting only when there are no other viable options. With the increasing glamorization of blood sport such as mixed martial arts and the promotion of violence as entertainment value for sports in general, protocol is the dividing line between acceptable human behavior and barbarity.
In summary, by applying rules appropriately and consistently, expectations are clearly defined and laid out in advance. As participants in the martial arts, we accept them as the terms and conditions of our membership in an organization, without reservation, and we recognize that the integrity of any organization is protected only by maintaining high standards, both of our moral and physical conduct. Now, go out and bow with conviction!

Amid the news earlier this week that R. Kelly's attorney, publicist, and assistant quit, there was speculation that the sexual predator would finally get his comeuppance. I don't know if anyone still has any hope that he'll face any legal consequences for his decades of abusing black girls and young women, but maybe this time the departure of his team might signal that R. Kelly might finally be on the way to being canceled. But probably not. Despite that fact that everyone has known for decades who and what this man is about, people still buy tickets to his shows and plenty of people still step in the name of love. (In fact, earlier this month the minister at the church where I was attending my godson's dedication teased his very Baptist congregation by saying something like, "Alright, don't make me start playing some R. Kelly in here!" The congregation laughed. I muttered under my breath, "Really? That nigga pees on people's children." Apparently I was loud enough for the congregants in front of me to cast a disapprovingly Jesus-y side-eye in my direction. Reason #1237 why I want nothing to do with anybody's church.) Anyway, for whatever reason, and we know what that reason is, there are entirely too many people in this world who still embrace that awful human being.
My initial reaction, beyond who on earth are these people who willingly work for R. Kelly in 2018, and I don't even want to know what happened that made them finally decide that being on Team Kells was too much for them, (I mean, for chrissake, the man was knowingly filmed peeing in a child's mouth!) was: I knew before there were rumors. I don't mean that I'm psychic, and there were rumors in Chicago long before the whispers made it to the national grapevine. Remember, this was pre-social media, and I'm from the back woods of southwest Georgia.
What I mean is, I knew the minute I picked up Aaliyah's first CD in the spring of 1994, the tail end of my senior year in high school. I knew because her album cover, with her in the foreground and him blurred out in the background staring creepily at her "unbeknownst" to her, reminded me of all the grown men who hung around my high school. (And let's not start on the male teachers who everyone knew was sexually abusing students.) In fact, Aaliyah looked like she could have been standing outside my high school. Also, there was something about the way, in an interview a few months later, when she described Kells as her "best friend in the whole world"* that confirmed it for me. Beyond the general absurdity of a teenage girl being "best friends" with a grown man who is unrelated to her, I recognized the verbiage. I recognized her preemptive excuse-making for an inexcusable "relationship," evidence of grooming so subtle she never would have understood it as such. I hadn't understood it as it was happening. I recognized the body language--a little too intimate to be innocently casual. The kind of interaction that is just "off" enough to raise the hairs on the arms of one who might notice that kind of thing, but innocent enough to make the observer put it out of mind.
I knew because being pursued by predatory grown men was damn near a rite of passage in my community. It was almost unremarkable, except when it came time to label those teenage girls "fast." Because this particular form of sexual abuse was so common, it didn't register in my mind that the "relationship" between Kells and Aaliyah wasn't ok. It was even "normal." I didn't stop being an R. Kelly fan in 1994 or '95 or even '96, even though I sensed what I sensed. I won't jump in my time machine and pretend otherwise. Now, I look back on those years and feel appalled in ways that teenage me was too naive to be.
My point is that some of us didn't need the rumors to know what this man was. We knew it long before he began taunting everyone by describing himself as "The Pied Piper of R&B." Yet, many of us will never disclose how or why we recognized the signs.
*Ironically, the possibility of their romantic involvement comes up in the interview and neither interviewer is horrified at the prospect. In fact, like Kells and Aaliyah, they laugh it off.

I wasn't alone in wanting to get right to it when Stefanie posted February's assignment for our guild BOM. Where on January's blocks we only used two fabrics, this time we got to use five of the ten! So definitely, some personality is beginning to show!
Basically, we just had to make a bunch of 3 1/2" (unfinished) half-square triangles, using the 8-at-a-time method, which resulted in a few extras to save for later. I ended up cutting my starting squares at 8" to give me just a little more wiggle room. Considering we need to make three times as many HSTs for March, I'm thinking maybe I should get a head start!
Check out the #begoniaquilt hashtag if you want to see more. There's a wonderful variety of fabrics being used!
This dark green is just perfect! I'm looking forward to seeing next month block.

NELLIS Air Force Base, Nev. (AFNS) --
The internet is a battleground, and information is the prize. News reports of a shopping retailer losing control of customers' digital data and an internet browser being compromised are some of the recent evidence of the constant cyber-threat present in the World Wide Web.
The digital war over information is one Air Force cyber specialists fight on a daily basis. To give these Airmen an upper-hand against their online adversaries, the 24th Air Force takes part in several training exercises, to include Red Flag.
Red Flag is large scale combat training exercise held multiple times per year and hosted at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, that gives air, space and now cyberspace service members from the U.S. and allied nations the ability to come together to train as a team. Air, Space and Cyber domains are integrated between tactical and operational level participants during Red Flag at the Combined Air Operations Center – Nellis (CAOC-N)/505th Test Squadron. Through the exercise, each organization learns to work together to form a stronger total force, while also being shown how their individual talents fit into the bigger picture.
Cyber first played a part in the Red Flag exercise series in 2007, said Daryl Crissman, the 318th Cyber Operations Group, Detachment 2 chief of weapons and tactics. At first their initial involvement was limited and only made up a small portion of the simulated mission. Over the past two to three years, however, Cyber has made measurable gains in becoming a fully integrated component of the exercise.
"Our mission is to train the next generation of cyber warriors and we look at what we call the full spectrum … defensive and offensive operations," said Michael Homsy, the 24th Air Force exercise planner and cyber range coordinator. "We have several teams that are being developed … teams that are designed to go after the adversary and their infrastructure and degrade their ability to launch their capabilities against us, as well as defend critical infrastructure as it pertains to our country."
Though the 24th AF participates in other annual exercises, such as Black Demon and Cyber Flag, Homsy said Red Flag is considered the capstone event. Due to the scope of the exercise, they are able to participate with a wider range of cyber applications to support other Air Force components, such as air and space.
"Red Flag has always been primarily focused on the flying community," Homsy said. "It is designed to give the new pilots their first operational missions. Cyber has only really come into its own in the last few years. We had to show that we could accomplish our training objectives without impacting the flying training objectives. We had to show that we can add value to the overall exercise by being a part of the exercise, and we were able to do just that."
In February 2012, cyber Airmen were given a chance to actively play their part in the exercise through the help of a new training network. With the new setup, they were able to give a tangible example of their capabilities while defending the combined air operations center at Nellis AFB.
"In Red Flag 11-3, we brought the Joint IO Range," Crissman said. "It is a closed network that we're allowed to play on and bring … our tools and our weapon systems."
The Joint IO Range is a cyber-range that is used during the exercise as a training ground for cyber assets, Crissman said. It is modeled after the Air Force's network, but is completely separated; therefore it doesn't affect any other active networks. It gives Airmen the distinct advantage of trying new systems, defenses and attacks prior to deploying them in a real-world environment.
"One of the things that we've been working on in the past year is presenting a contested, degraded, and operationally limited environment for the training audience and presenting them with a problem and making them solve it," said Julie Fluhr, a 505th Test Squadron non-kinetic operations subject matter expert. "One of the advantages to Red Flag is, because it is a closed system, we can allow the aggressors to do things that they can't do on real-world networks."
During the three week exercise, Airmen are given a mission tasking based on a given scenario. Each week of Red Flag increases in difficulty. As the participants become more practiced and familiar with the scenario, the bar is raised. As the exercise further develops, Airmen are able to adjust their tactics and procedures to reach their objectives.
"They break down what happened during the course of the (debrief) period to see what actions were taken -- what defensive actions; were they successful or not?" Homsy said. "And that's when the real learning begins, because you're now deconstructing the actual actions.
"Basically, they are looking at what went wrong and then do a recon analysis on it," he said. "What went wrong? Why did it go wrong? What can we do to fix it next time? Then they go back and integrate that into the next stage of planning, so they don't make the same mistake again."
Participants in Red Flag are also encouraged to learn about different aspects of the total force in order to work together more effectively and cohesively.
"Red Flag is integral in showing operators how we affect the air picture and how we can actually integrate with the flying community," said Tech. Sgt. Scott Karter, the 92nd Information Operations Squadron NCO in charge of operations training. "It allows us to see how we have an impact on the overall mission."
Karter attended Red Flag in February and through that experience developed a new understanding by working in conjunction with Airmen in other career fields.
"Dealing with the (air and space) community for the first time in my career was interesting," he said. "They seemed to not understand what we did, just as much as we didn't understand what they did. Our integration together allowed us to see how we helped each other. They became able to rely on us to defend their assets, while we were able to help fulfil their missions."
Airmen with the 24th AF weren't the only one's seeing a new big picture as other Air Force communities were introduced to the many facets of cyberspace warfare.
"We grow up in our own worlds," said Lt. Col. Christopher Jarvis, the 505th Test Squadron chief of combat operations. "I'm an electronic warfare officer by trade, so I grew up understanding electronic attacks, jamming other assets, (and information), surveillance and reconnaissance … Through Red Flag, years ago, I learned the tactical executing side, the bomb dropping, the missile shooting. It's only been recently that I've even gotten the opportunity to learn how space and cyber works."
Bringing together the diverse combat components help to dissuade the narrow thinking that there is only one way to affect a target. For example, Jarvis said, if the objective of the mission was to take out an opponent's headquarters building, there are multiple ways to get that done.
"We can drop a bomb; we can blow it up, or we can take cyber capabilities and use a sort of non-kinetic denial capability," he said. "If I can shut down the building's ability to communicate then I've achieved that same effect at the cost of probably less money and then obviously less lives."
If the Internet is destined to become the new battlefield of the 21st Century, it will be the Air Force, and more specifically the 24th Air Force, who will have the advantage with exercises such as Red Flag. In future warfare, it will be cyber Airmen challenging online adversaries, in addition to the traditional mission of bombers, fighters and RPAs, who will fight and win on the digital battlefield.

The economic and public health challenges and policy responses created by Covid-19 have led to an acceleration of some key pre-existing trends, namely: geo-political fragmentation, the reorganisation of global value chains and the adoption of new technologies. These shifts have profound implications for patterns of economic growth and prosperity. This webinar will discuss how policy makers can best leverage new opportunities (such as artificial intelligence, big data and working-from-home) to pursue sustainability and inclusivity through innovative solutions. The webinar will discuss how public policies can embrace an open and 'global' approach to the generation of innovation, growth and employment opportunities, such that internationalisation, foreign direct investment and global value chains can take centre stage in an inclusive recovery after the pandemic.
